Varroa mites are external, obligate parasites of worker and drone honey bees. Varroa mites are visible to the naked eye and look somewhat like a tick (Fig. 1 & 2). They feed on the hemolymph of adult bees and the developing brood.The reproduction cycle of the mite takes place inside the cells.ost infested colonies die within 1 to 2 years if the beekeeper does not take actions against Varroa mites. If upon initial examination of your colony you do not see visible mites, use a capping scratcher on drone brood to see if Varroa are inside cells.
